Where are you, Doug?  I have old OEM shocks that creak on the rebound of a deep compression, like when entering a driveway, but they work and are safe.

Easy job. 15 minutes on a standard 30 on a tourer or interstate just because you may have to remove the bags. You might want to get new shock bushings too.

I hope the new $500 shocks come with bushings.

So does that mean you'd rather skip Port Dover while waiting for new shocks, or do you want to look into quick shipping from Calgary to Sudbury?  I suppose you could expedite the new ones as well, for a price.

either u were starting to turn the shaft or tightening the end onto the shaft more. the top shock mount can be unscrewed.
